 Wandered into another calm. This is better than beating or running into high winds, but it's too bad that our options are always either too much wind, or none at all.
 
-This quietness isn't the worse thing. Pacific white-sided dolphins came to see us 3 times today. Because the sea was flat, we could hear them coming from far away. No matter how bad I'm feeling, their visit always perks me right up! Bowie left to look for food, so we're left with cackling Leach's storm petrels for company.

 We moved closer to 180°W, we are at 178°E, here's hoping that the wind returns later today so we can finally cross that invisible line! We noticed today that one of our spreader lights was broken. Pino is going to need a lot of love and attention after this trip.

 ### Food storage
 
-Purchasing food in bulk is ideal for long passages, but they’ll spawn insects or turn rancid if they aren’t stored in air-tight glass jars or food-safe plastic bins, away from light and moisture.

-**Containers.** Aboard Pino, we carry a lot of glass jars of different sizes, and large plastic food-safe bins. We like to use plastic bins designed for drinking water to store grains and other dried goods, like legumes and rice. Food-grade plastics are identifiable by the recycling number on the bottom. 1, 2, 4 and 5 are food-grade, but also to check to see if they are *food-safe*.
+**Containers.** Aboard Pino, we carry some glass containers, as well as thick-walled plastic food-grade containers. We re-use plastic jars used to store olives(3.3 L jars), soy sauce(1.2 L and 3.7 L containers) and peanut butter(1 kg jars). We also keep 4 glass carboys(3.7 L) to store large amounts of rice, wheat berries or cornmeal. We got the carboys from a zero waste grocery store, they occasionally give them away. Accumulating containers this way takes time, but costs less. If purchasing new containers, look for the recycling numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 at the bottom of the jars.
 
-We carry a lot of glass, and don't worry too much about it. After 5 years of hard sailing all of our jars are intact, even the large 5 L jar of umeshu that jumped out of the fridge did not break (only the plastic lid did). Glass does not leach chemicals and does not rust (although the lids might). We've swapped our metallic canning lids for durable plastic ones. On passages, we store glass jars on a shelf that is exactly their height. The jars have little wiggling room. Packing glass in tight-fitting spaces is key to preventing accidents. When the jars are full, the weight keeps them well-seated and secure. We like to use old socks as sleeves for glass jars stored in the settee lockers.

 **Light.** Our storage shelves have a fabric curtain to protect them from light. B12 in [nutritional yeast](#ny) is light-sensitive, protecting it from the elements will ensure that it retains its nutritive value.
